Texas DesperadOes.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. S.-Alfred Giles, a
prominent architect of San Antonio,
Tex. gives intelligence of a reign of
terror inaugurated in Kinney county,
Tex, along the Rio Grande, some fifty
miles above Eagle Pass, within radius
of twenty miles of Bracket, which
sometimes bears the name of Fort Clark,
and which is large United States post.
There has been established gang of
desperadoes, who number thirty odd
men and stop at nothing. Several Mex
leans of small possessions have disap-
peared, and their deaths are charged to
the gang. John Maurice, ranchman,
and determined man, has been active
in aiding District Judge KelSO and Dis
trict Attorney Old in their work against
the band. Ten days ago he was absent
from home. That night the desper-
ADDE'S went to his ranch, burned his
storehouse, cut down fifty panels of his
fence. burned the posts and drove Off
some fifty head of stock. Frank Digg-
nowitty is also large partner owner
and opposed to the thieves. Six nights
ago his store was burned.

TROUBLE FEARED.
The Cherokees Divided and Liza.
bic to Fight.

VINITA, Indian Ter, Nov. S.-The
greatest excitement prevails throughout
the Cherokee nation. 1t is only queS-
ton of few hours when the Cherokees
will be pitted against each other in a
fight that will be short but destructive
to the Indians of this nation, and which
will no doubt result in opening this
beautiful country to settlement by the
whites, and the determination of the
red men. The trouble has been brew
ing for the last five months over the
election of chief. Attic council yes
terday Chief Bushyhead's term as chief
expired. The new council not being
organized, L, W. Bell became eX-officiO
chief as president of the senate, thus
throwing the government into the hands
of the Downing party. The crowd that
surrounded the council chamber at 9
O'Clock kept growing larger, and in the
evening hundreds of excited Indians
were watching the proceedings, and
ready at any moment to engage i'll a
fight If whisky can be kept from the
crowd order will prevail, but if the In
dians are allowed to get it no power can
prevent bloody conflict to-day. Both
sides are determined that their candi-
date for chief shall be elected.

BRIEF INTERVIEWS.

County Commissioner George MitSch,
SRI am just going to see REM about
rooms in the Jail for female prisoners.
He has been out to the work house for
some years, and he'll know just what
ought to be done. / don't believe in a
whole lot of bars and such things-it is
too expensive. Well get at it in good
time, and the quickest way the best.
Senator G. K. Dayis-l shall go to
Washington about the Goth. think a
change of climate will be good for me.
l have been here continuously since
1864, and haven't had holiday yet;
that is, l haven't gone away for it.
Judge Egan-I don't see much use OF
the county attorney wrangling with
lawyers after the court has heard all the
evidence and the jury have made their
verdict.
Judge Kelly-I gave Harry Reed the
lighteSt sentence could under the law.
Supt. Overton, of the Water Board
The main on State street can't be laid
until spring ON account of the fill near
the Minnesota & Northwestern. We
tested the main across the river last Fri
day under pressure of $50 pounds, and
found it all o. K. We carry standing
pressure under the river of siXty-five to
seventy pounds. We will probably
double the pipage in West st. Paul next
year.
George Simons-Yes, I believe the an
archists ought to hang. They muir
dered seven policemen, and seven an
archists' blood ought to pay for it. 1t is
justice, and it will be good lesson to
the others,

A GREEN-EYED PAPER.

When the Pioneer Press stated in
yesterdays issue that JOE HowARD's
letters were sent out from Chicago by
the fast mail line" it stated what was
untrue. If our contemporary had
taken the pains to inform itself it would
have known that Mr.. HOwARD'S letters,
every line of them. came by telegraph
to the GLOBE. We are sorry that our
contemporary did not have the enter
Prise to provide itself with brilliant
correspondent like Mr.. HOWARD; and
we Furthermore regret that its lack of
enterprise in this particular should have
been the means of causing it to make
misstatementS concerning its more en-
terpriSing rivals.
Mr.. HoWARD's letters are sent to the
GLOBE every night over the North
American telegraph wires, and the Pho
neer Press can find confirmation of this
statement by stepping around to the
North American telegraph office.

THE RESULT.

The country is still safe. Yesterdays
elections indicate that the public bust
ness is going to be conducted at the old
stand for some time yet. The Repub-
Iiean states still go Republican, and the
Democracy still retain their old Gibral-
tar-like solidity. There is no indication
anywhere of any special dissatisfaction
with the Democratic national adj
ministratiOn, while the result in
New York is a positive indication
that President CLEVELAND has even
firmer grip on public conf
dence than he did three years ago.
The skirmish has been fought, and the
summing up of the whole result is that
GROVER CLEVELAND will be his own
successor iii the presidential Office. 1t
is possible that Mr.. CLEVELAND will
not be confronted with his old antag-
onist. The result in New York may
convince the Republicans of the neces-
ity for swapping horses. FORAKER s
vote in Ohio will give new life in the
SHERMAN boom.

SUNDAY LAWS.

When Mayor HEWITT entered upon
his Office he made vigorous effort to
enforce the Sunday laws in New York.
He took the position that as the chief
executive officer of the city it was not
his duty to question the policy or right
eOusneSS of such laws, but simply to
enforce them. He went at it in Way to
leave no doubt of the sincerity of his
purpose. He has performed his duty as
faithfully as it was possible for human
being to do. His orders have been strict,
and as rigidly enforced as man in his
position cou Id enforce them. And yet,
in spite of all his strenuous efforts in
this direction, Mayor HEWITT has been
compelled to admit that public senti-
ment is stronger than the law, and
that feature of the law which prohibits
the sale of wine and beer on Sunday is
a virtual nullity. With that strong
practical sense which characteriZes the
man, Mayor HEWITT recognizes his in
ability to enforce law in opposition to
public sentiment, and recommends that
the laws be so relaxed that wine and
beer may be sold after certain hours on
Sunday. The wisdom of this recon-
mendation is apparent. A law that is
dead letter is worse than no law at all.
An obnoxious law which is repugnant
to public sentiment has within it the
seed of anarchism, for it encourages
a feeling of popular contempt tor
law and the forms of law. But there is
another reason why the relaxation of
Sunday laws recommended by Mayor
HEWITT should be adopted; it is that the
people who drink beer and wine are not
the drunkards of community. AS
rule they are better temperance men
than the advocates of total abstinence.
They consist of the majority class of the
people, those in moderate circumstances
who cannot afford to belong to expensive
clubs. and who are not able to have wine
cellars of their own. In the ordinary
enjoyment of the day of rest, as their
richer neighbors do, they feel
like taking an occasional glass of wine
or beer They do not like
to sneak into the side door of saloons to
get it. Consequently they are justified
in asking that reputable places where
light wines and beer are sold should be
kept open during certain hours on Sun
day afternoons under restrictions that
will prevent excess and will protect the
community in the orderly enjoyment of
the Sabbath. A law of this kind would
be worth more than all the blue stock
ing SUNDAY laws on the statute books

PRoTECTIoNIsT FRIGHT.

The Republican leaders are unques-
tionably alarmed at the prospective
break in the ranks of the Republica II
party on the tariff question. At the re-
cent banquet of the Protectionist club
in Boston the other day. E. A. AMAII-
DoUN, of New York, said: ''In Mime
sofa ambitious politicians had been
afraid to announce their fealty to pro-
tective tariff because of the feeling
among the farmers. The heresy of free
raw materialism is doing as much dam
age in this part of the country as the
doctrines of the Golden club in the
Northwest" These fellows are getting
their eyes open to the fact that our West
ern farmers are getting tired of paying
high taxes ION their clothing and other
neceSsaries of living, while they must
sell their farm products in the open
markets of the world in competition
with all corners. But what alarms these
protectionists most of all is that the
Eastern manufacturers are also discOv-
ering that they cannot successfully
compete with European rivals whose
raw materials are untaXed. When the
Western farmers and the Eastern man.
ufacturers are moving in the same di-
rection of securing tariff reduction, it is
about time that the Republican leaders
were getting scared about the safety of
their pet protection doctrine.

ELECTION ECHOES.

All there, PULITZER. Stay there.
They were hail fellows well met in
New York yesterday.
The Democratic coon refused to come
down. And PULITZER's little gun
couldn't reach him either.
This thing of being the son of a father
is not such thing as it is cracked up to
be. This is about the time of the year
that Bon LINCOLN will refuse to have
his name canvaSSed as a candidate for
the presidency.
Shake, GROVER. You are there, old
boy, to stay.
Col. FELLOWS will pay his debts now.
He owes PULITZER one that will be
liQuidated at maturity.
JOIN SHERMAN roOstS high now.
Ohio has endorsed the favorite son.
1t made it dead sure thing for the
Massachusetts Republicans when Ben
BUTLER stepped over into the Demo
cratic camp. Somehow the people of
this country will insist on going in an
opposite direction from the way the
cock-eyed son of Defeat is going.
MALONE and PULITZER are sleeping
in the same grave now. 1t was a Pot
ter's field burial.
Uncle ABE HEwITT's dyspepsia is
better this morning, thank you.
The next thing somebody will want
to be booming JOHN Il. FELLOWS for
the presidency.
No, the New York returns are not
running on the Nickel Plate line this
time.
Will some stalwart rise up and charge
FELLOWS with getting his majority out
of the cyclOpedia?
The Dakota people don't like the
quality of the whisky they have been
getting. Rather than be imposed on
any longer, they have decided to quit
drinking altogether.
The worst hurt thing in the Iowa
election was the registry law. Lawyer
CLARK gave it black eye.
Alas the end has come too soon,
Before the public were quite ready;
The awful truth is known at last,
That papa's pants don't fit poor Freddy.

Vets at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-For the first time
in thirty-two years Chicago has a mill
tary camp. Two companies of the Sixth
United States infantry, under command
of Maj. Lyster, arrived at HighwoOd at
80 this morning, having travelled l ,S35
miles within the last four days. The
troops were marched to the government
tract, and in less than one hour United
States flags were run up, and Camp
Highwood was thing in fact. The sol
diers are grizzled veterans, and have
been engaged in all sorts of fighting
during these years. OF course their
principal service has been against the
Indians. Said one veteran: IF any man
shows disrespeet for that flag" point
ing to the newly erected garrison flag,
''he should be shot by order of court
martial" None of the officers had the
least idea they would be needed in the
city next Friday. They can't under
stand such a thing as the law being
prevented from taking its course. One
of the officers said: Il do not expect
that we shall be ordered into the city
Friday, but if we do come in on business
our little command of seventy men will
walk right through any crowd of 5000
anarchists that might be gathered to-
gether.

PARSONS.
He Makes His Final Statement
Before the Day of Doom.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Instead of the in
dividual letter which it was limited by
members of the amnesty association
that Parsons, the anarchist, would
write, deploring, like Spies, Schwab and
Fielder, the loss of life at the Haymar-
ket, and abjuring the use of force,
decidedly different communication
understood to be Parsons last plea
was issued over his signature tonight.
The document is two columns in length
chiefly remarkable for the absence of
any reference whatever to the massacre
at the Haymarket, or to the dynamite
idea. Parsons addresses the letter to
locally prominent socialist, MY dear
friend. George Schilling," and occupies
himself exclusively with sketch OF his
own life, particularly his actions as
leader of the newly liberated negroes
during reconstruction times in IeXas.
Schilling will read the letter in full to
Gov. Oglesby tomorrow, II the COVER
nor will permit. Parsons closes as
follows:
Thus, over a very extensive region
of country, among cotton, corn and
sugar plantations, | became somewhat
famous as a champion of political lib
erty. Beloved by the blacks, L was
hated and scorned by the whites. 1
then believed that the colored people
were truly freemen, and that they only
needed courage to assert it. But l did
not then understand or know that
economic dependence, j. e., industrial
servitude, made political liberty impos-
sible. l did not know, nor did the
blacks, they had been merely enamel
pated from chattel to wage servitudee.
/ did not then know that economic
freedom must be the basis for political
liberty, and that the wage-labor system
created classes, antagonists, and class
servitude. And now, as the Helots OF
old, the so-called free" blacks, Ill conf
mon with their white brethren. work
and die like beasts in the unceaSing
traadmiu of Wage-SlaYerY.N
